Chương 630: United Front

'Haa… what a mess.'

Why did things have to end up this way? Why, of all people, did I have to be confronted with Legris Damien?

"You had better give up now." A daunting smile formed on my face as I tried my hardest to radiate confidence.

My opponent, the very same person who had outsmarted me the last time, didn't seem too scared by my sudden appearance—even when I had backup with me.

Edward, Lemi, and Ivan were also with me as backup.

While I knew that none of them could really prove to be much of a threat to the enemy, it felt smarter to rely on the mirage of strength in numbers.

In the worst scenario, I would simply transport everyone back to the base while fighting Legris myself.

"What a surprise, Jared. You can use Aether now? I wasn't expecting this development so soon…" Legris laughed, clapping his hands.

As always, he threw me off guard. I couldn't tell if he was lying about his surprise or not, though the former seemed more plausible.
